Kenya Jinchu Valley Coffee Bean Characteristics Graded Taste Grind Scale Manor Introduction

In addition to the obvious and fascinating fruit acidity, Kenya coffee is mostly grown by small coffee farmers in a variety of different environments, with different climates and rainfall each year, bringing a variety of distinct and unique personalities. Take AAPlus grade "KenyaAA+Samburu" as an example. Samburu of 2001 has strong dark plum fragrance, low acidity and strong taste. Samburu newly harvested in winter of 2002 presents completely different flavor. Mulberry berry and green plum, accompanied by a little spicy flavor. After drinking, it has sweet fragrance of green tea. The acidity is slightly higher than that of the previous year, and the taste is still strong. The typical Kenyan coffee is not dense, but it has a fruity, bright flavor, some spicy, some red. Kenyan coffee is further known for its Hollywood blockbuster, Out of Africa. In the film Merrill. Mary Streep plays Karen, a writer and coffee plantation owner. Many people probably still remember the breathtaking scenery and magnificent sunsets in the film, but what is even more memorable is Karen's dream of owning a coffee plantation in Africa Kenya Coffee Bean Kenya's government takes the coffee industry extremely seriously, where it is illegal to cut down or destroy coffee trees. Kenya's coffee buyers are world-class buyers of premium coffee, and no country grows, produces and sells coffee as consistently as Kenya. All coffee beans are first acquired by the Coffee Board of Kenya (CBK), where they are appraised, graded and then sold at weekly auctions, where they are no longer graded. The Kenya Coffee Board acts only as an agent, collecting coffee samples and distributing them to buyers so that they can determine price and quality. Nairobi auctions are held for private exporters and the Kenya Coffee Board pays growers below-market prices. The best coffee grade is bean berry coffee (PB), followed by AA++, AA+, AA, AB, etc., in that order. Fine coffee is shiny, delicious and slightly aromatic. The auction is also organized to meet the needs of the distributor. These auctions usually sell small quantities (3-6 tons each), with samples bearing the grower's logo for buyers to appreciate. After auction, exporters pack according to different flavors, different qualities and quantities required by blenders. This provides a great deal of flexibility for the deployer. Quality-conscious germans and nordics are long-term buyers of kenyan coffee, which is mostly grown at altitudes of 1500- 2100 metres and harvested twice a year. To make sure only ripe berries are picked, people have to make about seven rounds through the woods. Kenyan coffee is grown by smallholders who harvest the coffee and send it fresh to a cooperative washing station, which sends the washed and dried coffee to the cooperative in the state of "parchment beans"(i.e. beans covered with an endocarp)("parchment beans" are the final state of the beans before peeling). All the coffee is collected together and the grower charges an average price based on its actual quality. This method of buying and selling generally works well and is fair to both growers and consumers
